MY APPROACH

I am a person-centred Psychotherapist, which means that your wellbeing and emotional safety are at the core of our work together.   I aim to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where you feel respected and cared for as we explore your world.

 

It is important to me that you feel you are in trustworthy hands.  I offer a warm, gentle, patient and caring manner through which a safe and secure environment is established.  I believe counselling has the best outcomes when the therapeutic relationship works really well so, whilst I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs, the steady thread running through my work is my commitment to building a collaborative relationship with you.

 

I aim to work authentically with you, with a sense of openness and transparency.  This type of supported exploration, with someone uninvolved in your life, can be relieving and grounding.

 

Together we will work through what is troubling you and attempt to find a way through.  You may find as we progress, that you feel better able to manage your struggles, you may notice new clarity on an old problem and an increased sense of self and greater resilience.​

​​​​

My therapy office is in a peaceful, rural setting and separate from my house, with off-street parking.

​​​
It is hard to know at the beginning how long therapy will take - it isn't always obvious what brought you to therapy.  You may need just a handful of sessions to navigate a particular issue, or you may need longer.  As our work progresses, you may find that you find that the focus for our work changes or that returning each week becomes a helpful anchor for you.   I will work flexibly to accommodate your needs, whether that's a regular session or a check-in now and again.  We will review our work together regularly.
